The first work of the imperial prison

The arrow pierced the sky, and the blood stained the skirt.

The third prince perfectly explained with actions that he didn't care about this mother in the palace, that he didn't feel bad at all when he was injured and bleeding, and he wasn't sad at all, and he could even give it to him personally.

Everyone in the audience was shocked, what exactly did he want to do, what exactly did he want!Came here tonight, even at the expense of committing suicide to show up, isn't it because of the inseparable bond between mother and child?

"What does this prince want to do, what does he want..."

The third prince seemed to be very satisfied with the effect of the scene. He smiled and moved forward. Instead of straining deliberately, his posture became more comfortable. His eyes fell on Ye Baiting: "Don't you know everything? Tell me."

Ye Baiting looked calm and was not surprised by this blood color: "You want an answer, why you were abandoned, why you were not recognized, you want to be understood, you want to be cherished, without hypocrisy, without looking at your Identity, just because you are your kind - but obviously, Concubine You can't give it to you."

Concubine You Taigui covered her bleeding arm, her lips were pale, and her face was full of shame and anger: "I didn't abandon you, there is no need, otherwise why would I find you in the future, why would I help you! Everything I did was for you, you Don't be fooled by that old godly woman!"

But when the matter developed to this point, the onlookers at the scene could understand why the young master was asking so much before, and why Concubine You was able to hold her own at the beginning, but became angry when the young master provoked her, because this is the key point!

If you, Grand Concubine You, really feel that you have a clear conscience, that everything you have done is worthy of the child and can withstand the torture of the world, why are you so angry?If you hadn't been poked into a lung tube, why would you be jumping like this?

There is absolutely something wrong with this woman!

"Why don't you want to believe Aijia, Aijia really didn't do anything."

The Empress Dowager's eyes glanced at Concubine You Taigui lightly, and she sighed slightly: "You gave birth to the child yourself, and you threw it away yourself. You are probably the first mother in the world who abandons her parents and children after giving birth." ?”

"Back then he was still so young, he was about to be born, a small person like a dough ball, not as long as your arm, you dared to be taken out of the palace and thrown on the side of the road, that was the cold winter and spring weather, No matter how warm the south of the Yangtze River is, it is not as snowy as the capital city. The frost and rain in cold weather can kill people. He is so young, how can he withstand it? You mother-in-law didn't just throw him away, you wanted him to die, if not If he is seen by well-meaning passers-by, he will freeze to death."

Concubine You Taigui closed her eyes, tears kept falling, and she kept shaking her head: "I didn't know that this would happen... I thought I couldn't lose it... At that time, I was forced to. I wish I could take it for him, but I can't help it, I was also forced! In this world, only Bengong loves him the most, everything I do, all the planning and preparations, all the painstaking efforts, are all for him!"

"No."

Empress Yue on the seat asked someone to come forward to bandage Concubine You Taigui: "That's not the case."

It was the first time she had spoken tonight.

During the entire questioning process, including the investigation process of Jin Yiwei before, she always clicked to the end. Whenever she asked about the details of the scene and the incident, she would explain everything in detail and sincerely. anyone to disclose.

Same as Ye Baiting's previous conjecture, Yuege has been in the middle palace for less than half a year, and there are many things to learn and adapt to. It is impossible for Emperor Yu'an to tell and teach her everything, the palace is so big , There are so many things, he can't talk about it, and he doesn't know where to start. He is very busy with the affairs of the previous court, and he often keeps a batch of memorials for a day and a night. He probably encounters some problems or difficulties, so he just discusses the matter , to guide his queen forward.

Yue Ge himself knew that even ordinary civil couples still need a long time to get in touch, let alone royal couples?This has nothing to do with whether the relationship is good or not. Everyone has to experience it. Since she accepted this marriage, she has a lot of thoughts and ideas about the future. On the second day of the wedding, she talked with Emperor Yu'an. He is firmly protected under his wings. She wants to withstand the rain, dew, wind and thunder, and bask in the sun. Even if she does not grow into a towering tree, she must grow into a strong branch, by his side, and side by side with him.

Emperor Yu'an gave her a lot of power, allowing her to grow up as she wished, but she knew that he was always ready to catch her, even if she accidentally fell into someone else's trap and made a mistake, he would not let her get hurt .

So she was very relieved, even if she came into contact with the darkness of the harem battle and discovered too many dark and ugly things, she was never afraid.She doesn't want to be overwhelmed by the two big mountains, but if she wants to check and balance, she will not pay attention to the Empress Dowager and Concubine You. The more information she knows, the more initiative she can have in the battle between the two palaces , instead of being dragged into it at a loss, and being used as a sword by someone.

She didn't know about the past that was involved in this murder case at first. It was because of her recent palace affairs, she gradually came into contact with more people, and then she discovered some clues, and traced back to the things that happened many years ago.

Realizing that it was related to the royal lineage, and even implicated her husband, she didn't dare to say anything rashly, even if Qiu Yiqing and Ye Baiting went to the palace to ask questions, she didn't say a word.

She has been aware of the problem for a very short time, and she hasn't asked Emperor Yu'an yet, thinking that she should at least find out something or clues first. Outsiders don't know how tired the emperor is, but she only knows that he is at the peak of power, free and easy, and she is the only one beside him. People know that the only one who is free at the pinnacle of power is the faint king, and if he wants to be a good king, he has to be busier, more careful, and more thoughtful than everyone else.

But tonight, she knew that this matter was not a secret from the emperor, he knew everything, but he didn't tell her.

She is not angry, as long as there is no bad news, she is relieved, no matter how close the husband and wife are, they don't need to know all the other's secrets, especially some painful past... Forcing him to reveal it, she actually feels distressed .

Her eyes were bright, and she looked at Concubine You Taigui: "You don't do everything for the third prince, you do it for yourself."

"He is just a tool you use to seize power, the only one available at present, which can be cultivated and rewarded infinitely. You don't feel sorry for him, you just want a brighter future, you want the supremacy, you want More desire for power and ambition, for this matter, anyone can be your stepping stone."

After entering the palace for less than half a year, the desire for power and ambition, the Queen of Yue has seen through it better than anyone else.

"The emperor talked about the eldest princess, mentioned things about childhood, so much past, can't let you understand, what is it like to really raise a child?"

Her apricot eyes were full of moonlight, and she was gentle and bright: "My surname is Yue. Some people here know that the Yue and Ye families got along well in the early years. I often played with Mr. Ye's siblings. I have also seen what Mr. Ye looks like. , I also know a thing or two about his temper and how he treats children."

"A Shao and Ah Ting are very different in age. The elder sister often takes the younger brother out to play, to visit other people's homes or have small banquets, to visit relatives' houses, to play in Tong's house, and occasionally to stay for a day or two. When the siblings go out, Master Ye will definitely watch them get in the car and leave, counting the time when they come back, and go out to buy delicious food in person, so that they can eat their favorite bite when they go home."

"Lord Ye is not good at handicrafts, but there are two things that he does very well. One is the shuttlecocks that the girls play, because A Shao likes them, they play well, and they are always close to him, but they are worried that the ones they buy are always broken. It was too fast, and what the servants did was not good-looking, or the weight was wrong, which was not to her liking. She only complained a few words casually, and Master Ye remembered it. Since then, when the handkerchiefs were playing together, Ah Shao’s shuttlecocks are always the best looking, brightest, most suitable weight, and the most comfortable to play.”

"A Shao probably doesn't remember herself. When did she stop complaining that the shuttlecock was not easy to use? She was immersed in this game and played it for many years until she got married and wrote me a long letter, saying that the shuttlecock is not easy to use. Among the many unaccustomed things after the birth, the biggest trouble is this. She found that the things that others are good at, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, would know which ones are good, which ones look good on the shelf, but in reality they are not, how to maintain which ones, how to After using it for a long time, she found that she has been playing shuttlecock for so many years. In addition to being able to appreciate it, she can know whether it is good to watch or not. She can tell whether the weight is right and whether it is durable, but she does not know how to choose the feathers on it to achieve such a beautiful viewing. What kind of price do you need to pay, how to tie it up so that it can last for a long time, what should you pay attention to in daily life... There are many dried tears on the letter paper, Ah Shao didn't complain about her life after marriage, she was just homesick, she just understood , how much father has done for her."

"The same is true of Ah Ting. Although he was delicate when he was young, he was like all boys. He liked to play with small swords, the kind made of wood, and they were only one arm long. He often played with small wooden swords, but every time he would be beaten by me. Bully……"

Empress Yue smiled, as if she missed the past: "Children play and play for fun. They are light and heavy, and generally they will not be injured, but the small wooden sword will be worn out and burred if it collides too much. It looks good, but it's not easy to hold."

"A-Ding raised her charming when she was a child. She liked pretty things. She was not happy when the little wooden sword was worn out, and she couldn't throw it away because it was too wasteful. Master Ye quietly picked up this job again. After that, A-Ding played with it." All the small wooden swords he owns are polished and even chopped by himself. A Ting didn’t know that every night after he fell asleep, his small wooden swords would be taken away for maintenance, so he thought he finally got one The 'sword' that will not break, is like something precious every day. One time Master Ye went out on business and returned home after half a month. A Ting found that the sword in his hand was broken and had a burr. Sad, 'Bao Jian' didn't come back until Master Ye came back."

"Later, as he grew up, he no longer liked small wooden swords, and he no longer played with them. Mr. Ye just put away the box of small wooden swords with varying degrees of wear and tear. It was a pity that he could no longer display his skills, so he didn't say anything."

"It seems that they are all trivial things. They have nothing to do with life and death, and have nothing to do with the family's plans, but ordinary parents give these. They rarely say these things. Most of the things they say are severe, serious, and unpleasant. But these things are always hidden behind the scenes, and the children are not allowed to know."

"I remember that at that time Ah Shao suddenly became interested in cooking and wanted to find a teacher to teach her, but her usual style was a bit...too lively, she was picked on by others, and she couldn't find a good teacher. Master Ye occasionally had a drink with friends, but Not a person who likes to socialize, it was the first time when I came home drunk, I lost my composure, and kept talking drunk, every sentence was like, my daughter is the best."

"Because A Ting was a boy, he was in poor health when he was a child. He was raised a little coquettishly, and he didn't like reading. When he was choosing a wife, he was also picked on by others. Mr. Ye was usually easy-going, but that time he kicked him out. He threw it away..."

After the Empress Yue finished speaking, she looked at Concubine You Taigui: "You didn't give what your parents should give, and you didn't teach what your parents should teach, but you said that everything you did was for him?"

"I gave birth to him!"

Concubine You's eyes were full of anger: "Those daily, trivial things, don't you think I don't want to do it? I said it all, I was forced! I sent him out of the palace to protect him, yes I want him to live a good life! I have put so much effort and effort into him, it doesn’t count! You can argue with me, but he, shouldn’t he be grateful and protect him! He has already I've grown up, I'm no longer a two- or three-year-old child!"

Seeing that she was still obsessed with no regrets, Ye Baiting heaved a long sigh.

"As the empress said, my father, Ye Junang, and the eldest princess, who passed away for many years, raised their children with warmth, selflessness, and meticulous care. If they have expectations for us, they only hope that our future will be smooth and safe, that Kang Ning will be happy, and that we can enjoy our lives to the fullest. Enjoying life, enjoying loving and being loved, they share with us all the beautiful things in their lives, let us perceive and experience, let us become love bookstores to accept and develop."

"They know that the pains of growing up are sometimes difficult, and the road ahead is not easy. They use their actions to say: I will show you, and you can learn from it. They use their life experiences to tell us that the world is not terrible, The world is worth it, as long as you are brave, as long as you pursue, you will find your share of happiness."

"They gave birth to us and raised us. They didn't feel that we owed them by nature and had to pay them back. They didn't feel that they owed us by nature and had to give everything. We were just fate. If we had the opportunity to be together for dozens or decades, we should take care of it."

"But what are you doing?" Ye Baiting looked at Concubine You with a blank expression, "You just think that after giving birth to a child, giving things, and making efforts, you have the right to use the child, and you can order him to do many things— I gave birth to you and raised you, it's time for you to repay me, isn't it?"

Concubine Youtai wanted to say something else, but she saw the third prince's expression, sinister, cold, and cold...

She was in the deep palace, and she hadn't met the third prince very much. She was full of plans. In the past 24 years, she had only met three times. The first time was when he was born. She thought that mother and child were born close by blood. She had given so much, and the child should know Gratitude, she also felt this gratitude in the few secret letters between her, but why did it seem really different when they met.

This child is hating her.

Ye Baiting: "I usually don't like mothers who say 'I have paid so much for you', because such words will make the children feel guilty and owed, and if it lasts for a long time, the family relationship will no longer be family relationship. , but a transaction, because 'I paid so much for you', so you have to pay it back, you are not a child who grew up under my expectation and love, you are just a betting chip that I use to invest in return, when the time comes , you have to give it. You think that you have given so much, and you are so moved that your child must understand and know that you are waiting for him to say thank you, right? But do you know that he is waiting for you to say something?"

Concubine You looked at the third prince.

The third prince still had the same expression, without saying a word.

Ye Baiting: "He is waiting for you to say sorry. For the abandonment at that time, for the absence in the process of growing up, for so many, so many, countless moments that other children have, but he does not have, and even the seemingly dull world. Fireworks."

Concubine You Taigui is right. Parents and children are connected by blood, and they are born with emotional fetters. But these emotions are accompanied by invisible needs, or transformed into demands. How you guide the child will change the child's appearance. , you give selfless love, and what your child learns is selfless love. You always remind the other party not to forget to give back, and of course the child will ask you to give more. You didn’t do this, you didn’t do that, this and that , why you can't do it, and why ask me?

"The imperial concubine's mother-child love, love for children," Ye Baiting said with a faint expression, "I'm sorry to say that your greatest maternal love, in my opinion, is only one thing, because your own child is not dead, of course you can't let others die Put the child under his own name and bury it with the royal ceremony, the skeleton of the baby who is not yet full moon is too unlucky, it is only suitable to be rolled up in a mat and thrown into the suburbs together with the court lady Lan Lu."

"Are you also forced to do this? Yin Mengqiu is so pitiful. She has been manipulated by you all her life. Isn't her child innocent and pitiful? She was forced to have a miscarriage before the full moon, and she didn't even have time to open her eyes. Take a look." Mingliang Tianguang, even after death, he can't be buried in the ground, can't be given a surname, can't be given a name, even if he is a lonely ghost, he is the most ignorant and ignorant one."

This thing is really scary...

Listening to all this, the people in the distance couldn't help scolding Concubine You Taigui for nothing. The treacherous concubine in the history books may have suffered grievances, but this lord is not wronged at all. She is really ruthless and capable of anything. !

The scene was full of excitement again, the third prince kept his eyebrows lowered and did not speak.

After a long time, Ye Baiting looked at him: "How, do you feel better?"

After being quiet for a long time, the third prince raised his hands high and clapped lightly: "As expected of the person I'm looking for, you really understand me, such a thing—" He pointed at Concubine You, "It's not worthy of being my mother at all!"

Concubine You Taigui was on the verge of falling and almost fainted on the spot.

The third prince's eyes darkened: "I don't have warm clothes in cold weather, and I don't have good food in summer. I don't have three meals. Every meal I pick up is bad food, and I even have to compete with dogs for food. You are in a thousand difficulties, and this is not easy. That's not easy, isn't it easy with me! You haven't taken care of me for a day, but you want to take care of me, saying that I'm not right, that's not good, the rules are not like this, royal heirs should not be vulgar , but you don't even think about it, who made me grow up like this, if you have a little compassion, will I be so picky by your servants! You can't stand the humiliation in the past, but now Dare to stand and talk without back pain, what are you willing to do for me, are you really willing! I am the prince, I am the prince, why do you treat me so harshly!"

Grand Concubine You really couldn't stand this time, she fell to the ground, her eyes were blank: "How could this be, how could this be..."

"But you yourself deserve all of this?"

Ye Baiting looked at the third prince with cold eyes: "There are so many people in Dazhao, how many young children have lost their parents and parents, and the number of men and women in military households at the border is injured, and how many women and children cannot be taken care of. You are more miserable than you. There are a lot of people who can’t keep their meals. Since the emperor came to the throne, no matter how tight the treasury is, there will be no shortage of money allocated to the charity halls every year. The number of sales halls is increasing every year. Everyone knows that the frontier enemies The military is powerful, but few people know that General An has special pensions for the families of those who died in battle to ensure that their children can grow up. Even if there are dark places in the streets and alleys, more people are kind people. I may not be able to adopt other children, but when I have a little more money, I will give up a mouthful of food to help others."

"You say that you are pitiful and innocent, struggling in poverty every day, but if the world is really so cold and you are thrown on the street that night, no one will pick you up to raise you, and you will not be raised when you are helpless. Eat all kinds of food and grow up to be old enough for you to play tricks."

"Compared to others, you can't compare to others. You have lived to this day, and you are not even half grateful to those who have helped you. Your heart is full of resentment and destruction. Do you think you should?"

"That's what they wanted, not what I begged for!" The third prince narrowed his eyes, "I've never begged for anyone since I grew up!"

Ye Baiting: "Then you are very brave and capable."

The third prince looked at him darkly

"If you are really as courageous and courageous as you say, why don't you go far away, break free from all this, and pursue your own path?" Ye Baiting sneered, "Aren't you unable to let go of your glory and wealth? Yours is actually just to find an excuse for your despicableness."

He took a step forward and stared straight at the third prince: "If it's not for the inferiority complex in your bones, and for feeling that you are not strong enough to control all of this, why bother with Concubine You Taigui, forcing her and yourself, making each other feel wronged , Don’t you just come here in an upright manner? Admit it, the third prince is just a despicable, ignorant and selfish person, he can be born wherever he is.”

He pushed so hard, the people below are all sweating for him, the other party is a lunatic, this is very dangerous!

But no one expected that the third prince actually smiled, and he smiled happily, looking terribly frightening.

"I really like you more and more..."

"Okay, for the sake of making me very satisfied today, I will give you face and not do bad things here, but you have to come with me."

Ye Baiting raised his eyes slightly: "Walk with you?"

The third prince laughed even louder: "You don't really think that I came here to seek death, right? No matter how cheap my life is, I managed to survive it myself. Of course I can't give it to you easily. The answer I want is already there. Now, this woman is no longer important to me, you can dispose of it as you please, and you don't want to hide it from me, I know what Qiu Suqing has secretly prepared, if you want everyone to live in peace, you can follow me , when we get to a safe place, we will naturally let you back, otherwise—"

He shook the lead wire of the glass bottle beside him, smiling excitedly: "Do you want me to pull this more?"
